The Devil's Own

A dangerous Irish militant travels to New York to arrange an arms deal and takes shelter with an unsuspecting police officer’s family. As an uneasy friendship develops, the officer begins questioning his guest’s identity, forcing both men to confront conflicting loyalties and the consequences of violence.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like star-led crime thrillers such as Patriot Games or The Jackal, especially for the central moral tension; Not for you if you need consistent action, nuanced politics, or tightly constructed plotting.
